Voltaic's Generator Solar Laptop Bag Powers Up

We featured Voltaic Systems' Generator laptop bag here in GoodCleanTech last January. It's a bag equipped with a solar panel, making it a charger at the same time. Now that same bag has powered up to offer much better charging times for laptops.

According to Treehugger, the Generator now uses the most efficient cells for the built-in panel, which means higher efficiency and shorter charging times. In fact, from a full day's exposure to the sun required to charge a laptop's battery fully, the new iteration of the Generator laptop bag requires as little as five hours to half a day to fully-charge a battery.

Other than the solar panel upgrade, the bag still comes with the array of adapters not only for laptops but for phones along with car chargers and USB connectors. Moreover, the UV and water resistant fabric is still made out of recycled PET bottles. The revamped Voltaic Generator Solar Laptop Bag is now available for $499 at its official web page.
